HTTP POST for /service/{reference-id}

When the NSM client user requests the /service/{reference-id} URI using the POST method, a service is created for one device by using one applied NSM service template and a reference ID that is supplied by the NSM client user.

NSM creates a service instance using the <serviceOperation> element with a service operation of type CREATE defined in the NSM service template.

Note: The NSM client user must supply the reference ID, which can be used once per service POST and it must be unique. This reference ID supports the following characters:

Alphanumeric characters that are not case-sensitive
Numeric characters
Underscores: "_"
Dashes: "-"

Input parameters

{reference-id}
